Goodyear and Gatik Demonstrate Capability to Accurately Estimate Tire-Road Friction Potential
Goodyear and Gatik have demonstrated, in a proof of concept, that intelligent tires powered by Goodyear SightLine technology can accurately estimate tire-road friction potential and provide real-time information to Gatik's automated driving system (ADS).
With road-friction data, tires can help enable smoother, safer and more sustainable driving. This is critical information for autonomous vehicles in terms of path planning and providing recommendations for safe driving speed, vehicle acceleration limits and vehicle following distance.
Goodyear will also be deploying Goodyear SightLine technology on select original equipment vehicles bringing immediate utility to today's mobility market.
